Golden Crocodile Douluo: I Have a Soul Bone to Trade

Listening to the ever-rising bids, Golden Crocodile Douluo's originally indifferent expression turned serious.

He even seemed somewhat solemn, as though he were about to make some kind of decision.

He slowly rose to his feet and walked out of the box.

Everyone looked at the elderly man who had suddenly appeared.

They had no idea why.

Who was he?

No one on Douluo Continent had ever seen a figure like him. How could he be qualified to sit in a Purple Box?

Douluo Continent was full of hidden masters. Perhaps he was some reclusive big shot.

Golden Crocodile Douluo... I never expected him to still be alive.

Sword Douluo's eyes shone like torches as a sharp aura erupted from his body.

"Uncle Jian, do you know that man?"

"Yes. I heard my father mention him." At the mention of his father, Sword Douluo revealed a trace of sorrow.

"That man is Spirit Hall's Second Worship, a level 98 Titled Douluo. He became famous long ago and is much older than even Qian Daoliu. We had assumed he had fallen, but I never expected him to still be alive."

"Spirit Hall's strength truly runs deeper than we imagined. It is even more powerful than we thought." Ning Fengzhi also felt immense pressure and sighed. "I wonder how many old monsters like Golden Crocodile Douluo are still in the Worship Hall?"

Sword Douluo shook his head. "The Worships are Spirit Hall's pillars. Their true numbers and strength are likely Spirit Hall's greatest secret. Outsiders have no way of knowing..."

"He came too?"

A trace of surprise showed through Bibi Dong's beauty.

Those old fellows in the Worship Hall were obsessed with cultivation and paid no heed to worldly affairs. Their hearts contained nothing but breakthroughs.

Golden Crocodile Douluo, in particular, had not left the Worship Hall for many years, yet today he had come to the Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion.

"Perhaps Golden Crocodile Douluo also wants to use external items to raise his Soul Power Level..." Chrysanthemum Douluo guessed.

"Perhaps." Bibi Dong said no more, though she had already begun making plans.

"Before the auction began, Your Excellency said that your establishment could accept Martial Souls and Lifespan as collateral in exchange for sufficient auction chips. I would like to ask whether I can use an already fused Soul Bone as collateral."

"Is this man insane? He actually wants to auction off a fused Soul Bone?"

"Yeah. Stripping away a fused Soul Bone causes tremendous harm."

"That's right. First comes the mental torment. Once a Soul Bone fuses with the body, it becomes like part of a Soul Master's flesh and blood. To strip it away, the mind must endure an incomparably painful mental assault. It is an extremely torturous process, and the damage is continuous. Very few people can endure it."

"Then there is the need to sever limbs. A Soul Bone becomes part of the skeleton. To cut off its connection with the body, the part where it is located must be cut off. If it is in the head, that means death."

"This man must have lost his mind. No matter how extraordinary that Battle Armor is, using a fused Soul Bone as collateral is still unwise."

"Golden Crocodile Douluo is actually willing to pay such a huge price."

Bibi Dong was equally shaken. She knew that the level 98 Golden Crocodile Douluo possessed several Soul Bones. He had even hunted a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast before, so he certainly possessed a Hundred-Thousand-Year red Spirit Ring and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

She just did not know which Soul Bone he wanted to trade.

On the auction stage, Daji looked at Golden Crocodile Douluo and felt that the aura he exuded was terrifying. His Soul Power Level was definitely above hers, and a trace of fear inadvertently appeared in her eyes.

"Remember, within this Auction Pavilion, you are the authority. You do not need to fear anyone. On the contrary, make them fear you."

"Yes, Master. Daji understands."

Hearing Su Mu's voice, Daji quickly calmed down and replied evenly, "It can be traded."

"Your Excellency, if I strip away a fused Soul Bone, will it cause irreversible harm to me?"

"Please rest assured. The Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion considered this long ago. The Master will use supreme power to strip away the Soul Bone without causing any harm. It will merely return your body to the state it was in before the Soul Bone fused with it."

As Daji's words fell, cries of astonishment rang out throughout the Auction Pavilion.

Whether it was Bibi Dong, Ning Fengzhi, or Golden Crocodile Douluo himself, none could conceal their shock.

They had never imagined that the methods of the Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion's Master would be so miraculous, capable of stripping away a Soul Bone without causing any harm.

This had long surpassed their understanding.

"Third Brother, this Auction Pavilion can even accept Lifespan and Martial Souls as collateral. In that case, stripping away a Soul Bone without causing harm truly should be nothing to them."

"Very well. Then I will use my Fifty-Thousand-Year Leg Soul Bone as collateral," Golden Crocodile Douluo said.

"After appraisal by this Auction Pavilion, Your Excellency's Fifty-Thousand-Year Soul Bone is valued at Fifty Thousand Auction Points."

"It may be used as chips in this auction."

"If Your Excellency successfully wins a bid, the Auction Pavilion will automatically strip it away. If you do not win a bid, this Auction Pavilion will not strip away your Soul Bone."

--

A Fifty-Thousand-Year Soul Bone could only be exchanged for Fifty Thousand Auction Points? It was not even worth as much as the Heaven Restoring Pill, the first auction item?

Someone raised a question.

"Please rest assured, all transactions conducted by this Auction Pavilion adhere to the principles of fairness and impartiality." Daji then looked at Golden Crocodile Douluo. "If Your Excellency is dissatisfied with this price, you may refuse to exchange it for chips."

"Thank you, Your Excellency. I accept the price of Fifty Thousand Auction Points." Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded in satisfaction before bidding, "Two Hundred Thousand Auction Points."

"How terrifying. He directly raised the bid by thirty thousand, bringing the total to Two Hundred Thousand Auction Points. That is already the same price as the Eight Spider Lances, the second auction item."

"He really is ruthless..."

Golden Crocodile Douluo revealed an expression of determination. As a beast-type Martial Soul, the Golden Crocodile King provided considerable boosts to strength and defense.

However, after using his Martial Soul Avatar, the Golden Crocodile King had one weakness.

The parts of his body covered in scales were extraordinarily tough, and few Soul Masters could break through their defenses.

But his abdomen, which lacked the protection of scales, was his weak point.

As the saying went, how much water a barrel could hold did not depend on its longest stave, but its shortest one.

The Fifty-Thousand-Year Leg Soul Bone only provided a speed boost, which had already become somewhat useless to him.

Its effect was far inferior to the invincibility granted by Sage's Blessing.

Trading it was no loss.

"This is bad!"

An awkward look appeared on Bibi Dong's face.

For the second auction item, the Eight Spider Lances, she had paid Two Hundred Thousand Auction Points, then exchanged another Two Hundred Thousand Auction Points for information on evolving the Eight Spider Lances to God Level.

At this moment, she no longer had enough Auction Points to continue raising the bid.

"Your Excellency the Pope, why don't we bid on this Sage's Blessing first? As for that transaction, we can deal with it later..."

"Shut up." Before Chrysanthemum Douluo could finish, Bibi Dong rebuked him. He hurriedly pleaded, "Your Excellency the Pope, this subordinate spoke out of turn..."

"Get up." Bibi Dong also regretted punishing her right-hand man.

She was indeed curious about the Battle Armor, but she did not need the invincibility brought by Sage's Blessing.

The ninth soul skill of the Death Spider Emperor, Immortal Body, could produce a similar invincibility effect.

She simply did not want Golden Crocodile Douluo to obtain the Battle Armor and increase his strength.

Although Golden Crocodile Douluo was utterly loyal to Spirit Hall, she knew that he was not loyal to her.

He was loyal to Qian Daoliu and the Qian Family.

"Two Hundred Ten Thousand Auction Points."

Just as everyone believed Golden Crocodile Douluo was about to claim Sage's Blessing, another voice rang out unhurriedly.

It made the ownership of this Battle Armor complicated once more.
